Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Cheese:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Stretch pizza dough into a thin rectangular shape, ensuring even thickness across the surface.
- Combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, creating a spicy and tangy filling mixture.
- Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly across the dough, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Generously layer mozzarella and blue cheese over the chicken mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully roll the dough into a compact log, applying gentle pressure to seal the ingredients inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into uniform 1-inch thick rounds.
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the cut side facing upward to expose the internal layers.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the rolls develop a golden-brown exterior and the cheese melts completely.
- Finish by sprinkling fresh chopped green onions on top and serve alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce for mild or extra spicy versions.
- Substitute shredded chicken with rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation and deeper flavor profile.
- Use gluten-free pizza dough to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Prep rolls ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for a convenient make-ahead appetizer or game day snack.
